ELASTOSIL® R Plus 4070/60 MH

1 of 127 products in this brand
ELASTOSIL® R Plus 4070/60 MH is a self-adhesive grade that provides strong adhesion to various plastic substrates (e.g. PA, PBT) and metals, without causing tack formation to the mold. It is an addition-curing, one-component high consistency silicone rubber designed for the manufacturing of molded articles. This product is particularly suitable for applications requiring vibration damping properties.

Application Details

ELASTOSIL® R plus 4070/60 MH is suited for the manufacture of molded technical articles.

Processing

  • ELASTOSIL® R plus 4070 series is particularly suitable for the manufacture of overmolded parts (metal/elastomer or thermoplastic/elastomer composites) for technical purposes.
  • The platinum catalyst can be deactivated by e.g. amines or sulfur compounds.

Properties
  • ELASTOSIL® R plus 4070/60 MH is a self-adhesive grade which adheres to various plastic substrates (e.g. PA, PBT) and metals without tack formation to the mold. The bonding properties can be improved by a post-curing process (e.g. one hour at 100 °C) or by a longer storage at room temperature.
  • Because of the individual surface properties each substrate must be tested before serial production. The vulcanizates are transparent and noted for good mechanical and electrical properties.
  • Thanks to addition cure, the vulcanization reaction is significantly faster compared to peroxide curing materials. No peroxide decomposition products are formed during vulcanization. At service temperatures above approx. 180 °C the addition of heat stabilizers is recommended.
Note

Cure conditions: 15 min / 165 °C in press, non post-cured for cured properties.

Storage Information

Please store the cardboard boxes in a dry and cool place. Once opened, cardboard boxes should always be resealed after use to prevent the platinum catalyst from being poisoned by amines, sulfur or phosphorus compounds.
